We saw in the dawn from the roof of the barWhen nights become days and you've gone too farWe listened to songbirds and rush hour cars and welcomed in the dayYou said, "London in summertime is great,On days like this I feel like I could escape From things that I've done and mistakes that I've made.I'd wash it all away"

We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, and waited for our night to endWe knew that one of us would come down hard and one of us would start again

We started out curious, it started out funWe smoked in the woods when we were youngAnd secretly slipped something under our tonguesAnd danced the night awayAnd everyone stumbles on old cocaineIt burns out the best, and it burdens the brain'Til brown comes and whisks away your pain and you find you've lost your way

We bathed like swimmers in the morning sun, and waited for our night to endWe knew that one of us would come down hard and one of us would start again

You'd sink in the river for your deathYou'd sleep with the fishes, draw no breathSwallow forever 'til nothing's leftTake no rest

Oh my friend, if you made for the shore you'd see us here, we're all waitingJust cast your eyes down to the floor, you'll see us here, we're waiting

Don't sink in the river for your deathYou could sleep in the shade, draw some breathYou could start fresh tomorrow, leave what's leftPlease draw breath, please draw breathLet's let nights become days

So come down kid the roof's not safe nowAll my friends are waiting for you to get some rest
